Twelve Gates 01:00
Some say there are twelve gates to reach madness Anyone can reach them anytime anywhere It is just a matter of how you use those gates To express the deepest desires of your soul Twelve gates upon which we can express our essence Twelve notes upon which we can resonate our insanity Twelve imperfect frequencies to show The greatest imperfections of humanity After all this is the sound of human nature This is the calling of the mad

Read the words Sounds like glass Shatters the night He screams he’s found success Reinventing life Reviving long dead flesh By candle light By candle light till the morning He feels like a god Oh no here comes the morning The madness in his head It takes control No longer just a man A God he's reborn Sunrise they find him dead A grin on his face No one was there to revive him The secret is lost He shared with no one his findings

Shades Of I 06:03
Born this way To mother's dismay I was different as child She could tell I was not well Something wrong deep inside Through the years She tamed my fears Chased away the apparitions Now she's gone I cannot carry on Trapped by my own indecision I'm lost in the haze Nothing is real Only the voices encouraging me I'm lost in the maze I cannot feel Feelings suppressed when they medicate me I'm being deceived Everyone's lying My paranoia takes over I scream And I'm certain to die If I don't leave Only escape brings salvation it seems Day by day They take my thoughts away Needles to calm and sedate I lay in bed the people in my head All the while plan my escape As days go by the people multiply And while I sleep they are awake The medicines do not affect them As I am but one of them I shades of i Shades of me Dealing with Anger I'm multiplied By me Multiplicity I cannot run I now must face the gun I must put the voices down Before they speak And again make me weak Their evil whispers I must drown Society it has no place for me They do not care to understand For in their eyes People like me must die And i'll oblige by my own hand

Portals 02:45
Pages crumble into dust I can barely read the last line I have now pronounced the words I have opened doorways to the stars from across the void it calls to me Visions from so many worlds Infinite in all their glory Sound takes form and cold to touch Deafening it tells a story All at once, I lose myself The time is almost near

There is no answer to my scream I am awake inside my dream Lucid unable to control Details fading into smoke Knocked unconscious I was home Reading then the lights went out Somewhere deep inside my memory Clue to who assaulted me Now awake, still can't recall I hear footsteps down the hall All my secrets and my notes All were stolen by a ghost Heaven help us The truth is out there Must not be seen By human eyes Lest the world be Lost forever To the Nameless Ones that come at night Now I must invoke the dark To set ablaze the Stone That points the way to the thief profane His whereabouts now known I have found you blasphemer How dare you steal from me You dabble in magic beyond Your sad stupidity I banish you beyond the realms Of human space and time Where echoes in eternity Will tear apart your mind My most precious treasure Notes of spells profane And secret locations Of amulets arcane You knew you were unworthy Still you tried in vain Now you must bear the punishment Of a thief profane Oy las voces Calling out your name Chamam seu nome

Grind you bones into dust Holy man My blood covered in sacred Salem rust Shaman Pierce your chest and pull out your heart It begins Heed no warnings from the Key of Solomon This is what you wanted This is what you craved To give in to the darkness To become a slave This is what you needed This is what you want To be one with the spirit To travel beyond Mark the floor with blood from your eyes Tetragram That you may see beyond the lies Lies of man Place your tongue in the chalice They await Cut it out no words needed Consecrate This is what you wanted This is what you craved To become a master First must be a slave It requires devotion And a sacrifice To set events in motion You must give your life Incantation time and space give way To reveal Gates of time between both night and Day Break the Seal Step right through your destiny calls Glacier throne God of time you are now one with all All Alone This is what you wanted This is what you craved To become a God To remove the chains Gave your humanity To know and see it all And now you are truly free To be nothing at all

Yemanja 02:43
I'm a brazilian in Louisiana Lost on my journey through the night I light a candle to Yemanja Ask her to guide my steps in light I am a stranger in this land I offer a white rose in her name Color of light blue in my hand And crystalline beads that bear her name Deep in the bayou now I pray That she is here by my side Helping me navigate my way Goddess please in my soul reside Somehow I am not afraid For I can hear familiar sounds Drums that pulse music that sways Could it be kindred spirits abound? Similar rhythms fill the air Just like the ones I heard at home People that dance without a care Suddenly I am not alone Goddess you listened to this man Helped me amid this human sea You took me to the promised land Led me to people just like me

Watch what you say What what you do Their looking your way Coming for you Tapping your phone Watching your screen Checking to see if you're being obscene Surveillance State It's already too late Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Brought to you by the Intel inside Searches are logged Flagged and filed Pose for the camera Give us a smile Protests not working They know our location How can they locate us Oh god turn the phones off now Up in the Sky Look at the drones Looking at me Follow me home What do they see What do they hear They read every thought my biggest fear Here they are now Inside my home Won't leave me be Won't leave me alone Inside my fridge Under my bed Behind the stove Inside my head Que encontraran dentro de mi Dentro mis celulas ya viven ahi Dime que puede uno hacer Contra todo este maldito poder No tiene caso Pelear el estado Ellos te localizan Despues te fucilaran

There he lies immobilized in bed Who knows what desperate thoughts Dwell within his head All that he can hope for now is merciful release Victim of a crippling incurable disease Hypotensive episode Everyone we have a code Grab the crash cart and run Fight for life has begun Ask the family to leave They cannot be witness to this Make sure they all stay naive Shield their eyes from sternums caving Compressions to circulate Ribs they start to give and crack Prepare now to intubate We managed to bring him back Pressure starts to normalize See the glazed look in his eyes Almost asking us all why We refuse to let him die There he lies blackened from his limbs Side effect of using Levophed Family is happy as can be Quality of life be damned is what they believe This guy over here doesn't look too good Lets take a look at the monitor Am I mistaken that's looking like QT interval prolongation Has anybody done a mag level on this guy lately? Never mind he's going into torsades let's go Hypotensive episode Everyone we have a code Grab the crash cart and run Fight for life has begun Ask the family to leave They cannot be witness to this Make sure they all stay naive Shield their eyes from sternums caving Compressions to circulate Ribs they start to give and crack Prepare now to intubate We managed to bring him back Pressure starts to normalize See the glazed look in his eyes Almost asking us all why We refused to let him die This is Mr. Smith he is an 89 year old male History of CAD, CHF, CVA, and Parkinson's He has a triple lumen pic line peg tube fecal management system Wound vac and dialysis cath non responsive With multiple stage 2 and 3 ulcers And a stage 4 ulcer to his sacrum He has a trach and is on a vent And we are currently running a variety of Vasopressors let me get the settings for you Notice the multiple amputations That's a side effect of some vasopressors We used a while back to keep him alive And of course he is a full code per family request He will be with us a very very very very long time
